I had that happen on one of my Shuttle compacts and it turned out that
the memory went bad. Also turned out that I couldn't restart the
computer without resetting the bios and the bios jumper doesn't work on
the nVidia chipsets - you actually have to power on while holding the
'insert' key on the keyboard until the bios resets...go figure.

Anyway, I think the first two questions are no at this point...the 3rd -
I don't know but that seems to be a weak reason to pick a distro. nVidia
does have drivers available for download for current distro's and they
aren't that hard to install.
